Anyhow, first off - I've got two soundcards - I only put one in the machine at a time - but I'm getting the results on both of them that I've seen people reporting. I have a Pro Audio Spectrum 16, and a Gravis Ultrasound MAX. When I cat >/dev/audio it ends up repeating the thing til I break the command. If I use "splay" from the sndkit, it repeats the thing til I try to reboot (the process is unkillable). Reboot hangs and doesn't reboot the machine, so I have to hard reboot it. The card I'd most like to get working perfectly is the GUS MAX. Anyhow, if anyone knows how to fix this problem, or has any clues for me (maybe I can poke around), I'd really appreciate it. The other issue has to do with ports. I remember hearing Jordan saying something about FreeBSD not having a midi player. Well, I took to the task of getting linux's playmidi working today, expecting a nightmare, and it was no more than a 5 minute deal. Mainly just changing "sys" to "machine" and soforth. Do we want to include this in ports? If so, I can make patches and such... -matt -- Matthew C.
